Hello all! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas! Mine was pretty good – spent most of the day with my roomate’s folks, who are amazing people that treat me as one of their own. This month has been pretty tough for me (December usually is), between my job in retail and just some emotional trouble. Things are looking up, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m falling apart from the inside out. I’m finally getting a car again, after nearly three years without – following an emotional breakdown in February 2015 I stopped driving and lost the car (it was pretty much a junker). I’ll also have health insurance again starting next month, so that’s great. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford a therapist so I can work through this crap – I feel myself shutting down again and it’s taking all I have to keep from falling to the bottom of that big, ugly pit again. I had a good cry today after returning home this evening, it’s true that you feel the full weight of having such a broken family this time of year. It sucks! This post was just something I did to keep me busy. Sorry about my ramblings; style details & SLURLs are at the bottom!

Another post, another set of photos of me in a destroyed metropolis. I just love these kinds of locations in Second Life! This particular one – Dead End City – is probably my favorite yet. It’s full of tons of little details, and it has distinct districts that make it feel a bit more real than others. I do want to make it clear, however – this is a live RP city, and it’s very much an adult SIM, so if that bothers you, it may not be the place for you. But everyone was friendly, and they encouraged photography, just be respectful of the residents and everyone will have fun! Anyway, that’s all for now – SLURLs and style details at the bottom!

Another post! I’m on a roll! This time I just wanted to highlight this awesome SIM – Vibrant Eden/Neive – and some simple clothing like my awesome Parker bomber, with this awesome hair from Burley and skin from Clef de Peau! Credits and SLURLs at the bottom!

What I’m Wearing:

Jacket: :PARKER: PERRY BOMBER.creme. – available at the September/October round of Uber

So, it’s officially autumn in the Northern Hemisphere now, though it hasn’t felt like it here in Indiana – it’s been hotter over the past week than it has been for most of the summer! Oh well, thank god for air conditioning in my apartment, and locations like this in Second Life! This SIM is called Habitat Springs, and it’s easily one of my favorite places now. The windlight is great, there are so many photogenic and gorgeous little niches, even the sounds are fantastic! Seriously, go visit, and take the time to explore – it feels way bigger than it actually is.

Now, on to the look! First off, I want to say that I love the Andrea head from LeLutka. It’s so smooth and perfect, with none of the weirdness I’ve come across in the mouth area like I’ve encountered with other Bento heads. If there was one thing I had to pick to critique, it’s the eyes – they just don’t respond a ton to sliders, and that’s too bad. But, I can’t not recommend this head. The HUD is the best there is, in my humble opinion, the animations are extremely well done (AND they’re all included!), and it even comes with some really nice AO-type whole-head animations that work great with the Bento animations I have loaded into my Firestorm AO. Right now there aren’t a ton of appliers, but it’s LeLutka, so it won’t take long until we’ll have more options than we know what to do with. Right now I’m really liking the appliers available from Modulus. I’m happy to see “older” skins that I really enjoyed coming to a new head, and the Malik skin I’m wearing here seems particularity suited for this head. Clef de Peau and Tableau Vivant are a few others that already have some appliers out as well, so check them out!

Pretty much the entirety of the rest of this look is Belleza, the Shea outfit available at Men Only Monthly. It’s not the most creative outfit I’ve put together, I know, but it just works for what I had in mind, and looks damn nice, too. I’ve always been a dandy at heart, and Second Life lets me indulge that side of me. I threw on some rings available at the current round of Pocket Gacha from Meva, and I called it a day.

But enough rambling about SIMs and heads, the links and SLURLs are at the bottom of the post!

Sorry about the gap between posts again! I’ve not really been feeling very inspired lately. I’m on vacation, and I thought that I’d get a ton of stuff done, but that’s not happening. I’m mostly just sleeping haha. Anyway, details and SLURLs at the bottom, per usual…
